  • Page 4: Important Notices On Safety

    Important Notices on Safety To maintain the performance and use the gas detector safely, observe the following instructions of DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. 2-1. Danger cases DANGER About use • This is not an explosion-proof detector. You must not use it to detect gases exceeding the lower explosive limit (LEL).

  • Page 5: Warning Cases

    2-2. Warning cases WARNING Sampling point pressure • The concentration meter is designed to draw gases under the atmospheric pressure. If excessive pressure is applied to the gas inlet and outlet of the detector, measured gases may leak out from its inside and may cause dangerous conditions. Be sure that excessive pressure is not applied to the detector’s gas inlet or outlet while used.

  • Page 6: Precautions

    2-3. Precautions CAUTION Do not expose the detector to oil, chemicals, etc. Do not submerge the detector under water. • Do not use in a place where the detector is exposed to liquids such as oil, chemicals, etc. • The detector is not water-pressure-resistant. Do not use the detector where a high water pressure is applied to it (under a faucet, shower, etc.) or submerge it under water for a long time.
  • Page 7 CAUTION Others • Exposing the sensor to a gas for a long time or a high-concentration gas may result in that the gas alarm will remain for a certain period. If the exposure occurs, allow the instrument to draw fresh air for more than 5 minutes (recommendation), and then perform air calibration again. •...

  • Page 20: Perform An Air Calibration

    4-8. Perform an air calibration After a high-concentration gas is detected or an alarm is triggered by temperature/humidity changes, perform an air calibration in the measured atmosphere. * Before performing air calibration, verify a fresh air environment. (Display example: For fumigation gases) In the detection mode, hold down the AIR button.

  • Page 21: Snap Logger

    NOTE • Perform air calibration under pressure and temperature/humidity conditions close to those in the operating environment and in fresh air. • Perform an air calibration after the reading is stabilized. • If there is a sudden temperature change between the storage and operational locations, turn on the power of the detector, let it stand for ten minutes or more in a similar environment to the operational location, and perform air calibration in fresh air before using it.
